Jemima Goldsmith Khan, the ex-wife of Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan, has claimed that her X account is being secretly throttled – its reach is being killed on social media – and has written a personal plea to Elon Musk, the owner of the social media platform. Jemima, a British TV producer, claimed that when she has been talking about Imran and his illegal solitary confinement for almost 22 months now, the post’s reach within Pakistan, and often globally, has been throttled to near zero. In a series of X posts directed at Musk, she provided statistics to back up her claim and asked him to “please fix the visibility filtering” so she could get the message out about her husband. Here’s what Jemima Khan claimed: In a lengthy X-post, Jemima Khan said: “Elon, you may remember we’ve met before,” re-introducing herself as the ex-wife of Imran Khan – “Pakistan’s democratically elected Prime Minister, removed in 2022 and now held in brutal solitary confinement as a political prisoner for 22 months.” The producer claimed that her two sons with Imran “have not seen their father in all that time, have not spoken to him in months and are not even allowed to send him letters.” “His name has been banned from every Pakistani TV and radio station,” she added, saying that Musk’s X is their “only independent platform to highlight this injustice.” However, according to xAI-owned Grok, she said: “Every time you post something about Imran’s prison conditions, solitary confinement or your son’s access to their father, the algorithm limits the post…. The Pakistani authorities have made criticism of Imran Khan’s immediate circle one of their top online enforcement priorities, and X is just quiet enough in the country.” Addressing Musk, Jemima said: “You have promised repeatedly that X will protect free speech and not silence legitimate political expression.” She said that Grok examined her X-Analysis (3.56 million followers) and concluded that her account was subject to what Grok called “secret attenuation,” where the algorithm deliberately hides her posts from almost everyone, even though the account has not been suspended. She also shared the following “damning evidence Grok found”: • In 2023–early 2024, I was averaging 400–900 million impressions per month (normal range for my follower count). • But in all of 2025, impressions dropped to just 28.6 million total – a 97% collapse after

A group of states said they are suing the Donald Trump administration to block a $100,000 fee for any new applications for H-1B visas, which allow US employers to hire skilled foreign workers, Bloomberg reports. The lawsuit, expected to be filed Friday, argues that the fee creates a costly and illegal barrier to employers using the popular visa program and that the administration failed to follow the proper rulemaking process in adopting the policy. California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell are leading the case. “As the world’s fourth largest economy, California knows that when skilled talent from around the world joins our workforce, it drives our state forward,” Bonta said in a statement. “The Trump administration thinks it can raise costs on a whim, but the law says otherwise.” The lawsuit would be at least the third to challenge the fee increase, which Trump announced in September, but the first challenge by US states. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce sued in October, as did a global nursing staff agency and several labor unions. Both cases are ongoing. Why Trump Is Asking a $100,000 Fee for H-1B Visas The H-1B visa program is a cornerstone of employment-based immigration. This allows US companies to hire college-educated foreign workers for specialized occupations. Trump announced an overhaul of the program in September, arguing that abuses of the H-1B route displaced American workers. H-1B visas are awarded based on a lottery system, but they are primarily used by the technology industry. Companies with the largest number of H-1B visas include Amazon, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd., Microsoft, Meta Platforms Inc. and Apple Inc., according to the US government, as reported by Bloomberg. The attorneys general who sued to block the fee argued it would be particularly damaging in key public sectors, including education and health care. “The administration’s illegal effort to ruin this program will make it harder for New Yorkers to get health care, disrupt our children’s education and hurt our economy,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement. In addition to California, Massachusetts and New York, the lawsuit also includes Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin as challengers to the fee.

Jakarta – The presence of the People’s School is not only a place to gain knowledge, but is a place to build students’ character and self-confidence. This is what one of the students at Junior High School (SRMP) 10 Cibinong, Bogor, West Java, Aray Maulana Alfatih, felt. Aray spent three months at SRMP 10 Cibinong, Bogor, West Java, as a transformation of his personality. He managed to cultivate courage, responsibility and faith in himself. Aray’s courage was tested when Cabinet Secretary Teddy Indra Wijaya visited SRMP 10 Cibinong last July. In front of a group of important guests, Aray was entrusted to lead the dinner report. Scroll TO CONTINUE CONTENT Not only did his steps seem firm, Aray’s voice sounded loud as he reported to Teddy. That moment was a turning point not only for him, but also for the teachers who witnessed a great change in him. “When I first came in, I was afraid I had no friends,” says Aray in his statement, Saturday (13/12/2025). Aray admitted that he experienced unpleasant treatment from his friends when he was in elementary school because his family’s economic situation worsened. Since then, he often feels inferior, is afraid to speak and prefers to remain silent in class. At the People’s School, Aray found a new environment that accepted him as he was. He learns not only about academic lessons, but also about the meaning of responsibility, independence and the courage to try. His confidence also grew when he was trusted to be the dining commander. From this assignment, Aray learned to organize rules, set an example, and speak loudly in front of his friends. “My voice is the strongest among my friends,” he said. Despite having strong leadership abilities, Aray still struggles to maintain a consistent enthusiasm for learning. He sometimes puts off tasks or needs encouragement to get started. For teachers, however, this is not a shortcoming, but rather part of the growth process. “His enthusiasm is not always stable, but when encouraged, he will try hard to complete his tasks,” said one of the SRMP 10 Cibinong teachers, Fuad. Aray’s abilities stand out the most in the fields of study he likes, such as sports, futsal and badminton. On the court, he moves with passion and shows a determination to win not only against his opponents, but also against his own fear. In the dormitory, Aray is known as a child who is polite, disciplined and obeys the rules. He was never absent from his strike schedule, diligently maintained cleanliness and respected his caregivers. That determination grew out of his simple home. His father, Asep Saepudin, worked as a casual daily laborer and bed maker with an uncertain income. His mother, Hera Febriani, was a housewife who faithfully accompanied her children. The Aray family lives in a small house of about 20 square meters in Tanah Sareal, Bogor. Even though they live in a simple house, this small family never stops instilling the values ​​of hard work and honesty in their children. Aray’s older brother is currently studying pharmacy at Nusa Bangsa University with a KIP Kuliah scholarship, while his younger brother is still waiting for school age. Amidst limitations, this family still has high hopes. For Aray, the past is no longer something painful, but a valuable lesson. He learned that modesty is not a reason to give up, and shame is not an obstacle to growth. From an environment that offers room to be brave, he finds a new meaning in life that every child, from any background, has the right to be confident and dream. (acn/ega)

Jakarta – The Chief Director (Dirut) of PT Terra Drone Indonesia, Michael Wisnu Wardhana, has been named as a suspect in the fatal fire case at the Terra Drone building in Central Jakarta (Jakpus). The police released a list of Michael’s negligence that led to the fatal fire. As is known, residents reported the fire to fire officials on Tuesday (12/9) afternoon. The total death toll from this fire incident was 22 people, consisting of 15 women and 7 men. The victim died because he was trapped on the top floor of the six-story building. The victims who died were unable to get out because the building was filled with smoke coming from the lower floors and there were minimal evacuation routes. Scroll to continue content. The police also named Michael as the managing director of PT Terra Drone Indonesia as a suspect. Michael was considered negligent. “There was negligence by the suspect’s brother,” said Central Jakarta Metro Police Chief, Kombes Susatyo Purnomo Condro, at a press conference, Friday (12/12/2025). 1. Did not have a SOP for hazardous batteries. Based on the investigation, the suspect committed gross negligence at the company management level. Michael did not create or ensure an SOP for the storage of drone batteries, which in this case was the root cause of the fire. “Not creating or ensuring there is an SOP for storing hazardous batteries. Not hiring C3 officers and not conducting safety training,” he said. “Not providing standard storage for flammable materials. Not providing emergency doors and building safety systems. Not ensuring evacuation routes are functional,” he added. 2. There is no fire protection. The building has no fire protection and there are no evacuation routes. The building is also used as a warehouse even though the IMB is for offices. “There are no emergency doors, no smoke sensors, no fire protection system, no evacuation routes, the building has an IMB (building construction permit) and SLF (functional fitness certificate) for offices but is also used as a storage area or warehouse,” he said. As a result of the investigation, driving violations were also found. Susatyo said there is no separation between damaged, used and healthy battery storage in the building. “The storage room is narrow 2×2 meters without ventilation, without fire protection. Then the generator with the potential for heat is in the same area,” he said. 3. There is no fire detection alarm. Police revealed that there was no fire detection alarm in the Terra Drone building. Police said one of the employees had to go from floor to floor to report the fire. “Based on witness statements, there was no fire alarm. So, that’s who knew it was a fire because when it was burning downstairs, someone ran upstairs and told them there was a fire,” said head of criminal investigation unit for the Central Jakarta Metro Police, AKBP Roby Heri Saputra. Roby said the witness also brought an APAR (light fire extinguisher) to try to put out the fire, but the fire grew quickly. The witness then left the building and managed to save himself. “Then he took one of the APARs downstairs. So that was the alarm. That means he transmitted the alarm by mouth, by hand. So there was no alarm from the system itself,” he said. 4. There is no understanding of drone battery management. The fatal fire started in the room where drone batteries were stored. The results of the inspection revealed that Terra Drone employees did not understand how to manage drone batteries. “Of all the employees that we checked, they generally did not understand, even if it was just a brief explanation, but there was nothing written down and they did not understand how to manage the goods, the batteries, in the room they were mixed with damaged batteries, there were batteries and so on, it all came together,” said Susatyo. In fact, Susatyo said, based on existing regulations, flammable batteries such as LiPo must be stored separately. Susatyo said it was a systemic error in this case. “So from our perspective it’s a systemic error rather than management,” he said. 5. Threatened with life imprisonment. Michael is named as a suspect. Michael faces life in prison. “The suspect is MWW, the chief director of PT Terra Drone Indonesia,” explained Susatyo. Michael Wisnu was immediately detained at the Central Jakarta Metro Police Detention Center. He has been charged with Section 187 of the Penal Code and/or Section 188 of the Penal Code and/or Section 359 of the Penal Code and faces a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. “The threat is life imprisonment or a maximum of 20 years,” he said.

Jakarta – Head of PDIP Fraction Commission VIII DPR RI Selly Andriany Gantina condemned the insult to the Sundanese tribe allegedly carried out by YouTuber Adimas Firdaus, owner of the Resbob Instagram account. He considered Resbob’s comments very inappropriate and dangerous. Selly initially regretted the re-emergence of content on social media that destroyed social harmony. According to him, Indonesia is built on ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity which is reflected in Bhinneka Tunggal Ika. “Therefore, any speech that denigrates certain ethnic identities, in this case brother Resbob who is suspected of having insulted the Sundanese people, is not only inappropriate, but also dangerous for national unity,” Selly told reporters on Saturday (13/12/2025). Scroll TO CONTINUE CONTENT He said freedom of expression should not be an excuse for someone to ignore public ethics or perpetuate hate speech. Especially if this behavior is done repeatedly. “Our digital space requires collective maturity, it must not be allowed to become an arena for the normalization of racism or defamation,” said Selly. According to Selly, the police report against Resbob must be carried out professionally and proportionately. Because, he said, the state has clear legal instruments to curb hate speech, especially that which has an impact on social harmony. “If elements of a criminal act are found, law enforcement is obliged to act decisively by setting aside restorative justice as part of efforts to maintain order and prevent similar acts from happening again,” he said. On the other hand, Selly emphasized the importance of public education. According to him, law enforcement must be balanced with the promotion of digital literacy so that people are able to manage differences without humiliating each other. “Content creators must also realize that they have a moral responsibility because their influence is very large. So for me, this case is a reminder that we must continue to strengthen a culture of mutual respect, while ensuring that the law is applied to protect the dignity of all citizens, without exception,” he added. As is known, Adimas was reported to the West Java Regional Police on suspicion of hate speech by the Viking Persib club. The report was made by Viking’s lawyer, Ferdy Rizki, to the West Java Regional Police Cyber ​​Investigation Directorate. “Last night, thank God, we made a police report about hate speech that went viral on social media. I was also instructed by Viking chairman Tobias Ginanjar to make a police report about this hate speech,” explains Ferdy, Friday (12/12). Head of Public Relations of the West Java Regional Police, Commissioner Hendra Rochmawan, confirmed the report. The West Java Regional Police will handle the case. “Yes, we have profiled the accounts of hate speech perpetrators against Vikings and West Java residents,” Hendra said. (fas/yangs)
